Why HPE Day Matters
Key Reasons We Teach HPE
Lifelong Movement: It encourages young people to enjoy physical activity so they remain active and healthy throughout their adult lives.
Mental Health and Wellbeing: It teaches students how to understand their emotions, build resilience, seek help, and manage stress.
Social Skills and Teamwork: Students learn cooperation, fair play, communication, and to resolve peacefully with others.
Informed Decision-Making: It gives students the ability to evaluate health and safety information so they can make smart choices for themselves.
OHR celebrated this day on Tuesday 1st September. We as a school and community are always working together to ensure every child has the opportunity to lead an active, healthy, and fulfilling life.
We celebrated this day during P.E with lots of fun games, basketball clinics and circuits.
The Big Finale: The Nutbush dance: The entire school joining together for the classic Australian line dance to Tina Turner's "Nutbush City Limits."
